Joel and Corey have completed their 2011 re-cap shows with a list of the best (or more accurately, their favorite) films of 2011. While Joel admits his list isn’t comprehensive, he manages to throw in a few oddball documentaries from cable, while Corey’s likes are in tune with the critical mass for the most part. There’s a few exceptions that won’t get spoiled here, like a British comedian’s vanity project that Corey loved and Joel’s affection for CGI primates that isn’t shared by his co-host. Still, there’s a lot they agreed on, both foreign, domestic, documentary and occasionally weird, so this is turns out to be a pleasant Netflix queue-filling discussion from a couple of film-loving nerds. Of course, there’s hate, too, as Corey still wants Adam Sandler dead, and Joel thinks someone should’ve stopped Conan O’Brien. There’s also no love for Smurfs, Chipmunks, Idiot Brothers or Russell Brand And only one host picked a comic book movie as one of his faves. Wanna guess? Wrong.

It’s now 2012, but Joel and Corey have no problem living in the past. Hence, a re-cap of the best and worst programming that illuminated the boob tube in 2011. The lists are really dissimilar too, as the guys only agreed that one comedy show was worthy of both of their Top 10s. Joel’s list is more premium-cable heavy, while Corey leans towards more eclectic basic cable fare, including a show that was recently resurrected after being cancelled more than a decade ago. The worst shows include lots of housewives, cooking, news pundits, hoggers, loggers, and, more than anything else, two obnoxious women who are financially challenged. Plus, Corey preps for his off off Broadway debut in the one-man show, The Vic Tayback Experience.
